Chapter 297 You long to see me, but you don’t know I’m always by your side
The purple-black flower suddenly came to life, raised its head like a little snake, and there was a look of disdain and arrogance in its opened eyes.
What was even more shocking was that it began to speak, its voice was shrill and harsh, with obvious sarcasm.
"Decorations? Ha! Lowly and lowly human, who do you think you are talking to?"
This flower on the bud's shoulder.
No, this shadow fairy twisted her body and looked at Feiying and Jasmine carefully, with such an arrogant attitude as if she was looking at two ants.
Her gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"What a ridiculous human being! Why didn't I notice how stupid you were the last time we met?"
This voice, this unique tone and breath, made Feiying and Jasmine feel inexplicably familiar.
It's like a song you heard long ago, or a dream that left a deep impression but you can't remember it at the moment.
The feeling is right on the tip of my tongue, but I can't grasp it.
Jasmine frowned, her mind quickly going through her memories, trying to connect the voice to an event in the past.
Feiying was more direct. Her expression quickly changed from shock to vigilance, and sparks unconsciously ignited on her palms again.
The Shadow Fairy noticed the two people's reactions and sneered sharply:
"What? You can't remember who I am?"
"Before in Coral Harbor, I beat you guys to a pulp!"
"That fear, that powerlessness, have you forgotten it so quickly?"
This sentence was like a key, instantly opening the floodgates of their memories.
Especially the three words "Coral Harbor" flashed through Jasmine's mind like a flash of lightning.
Her eyes suddenly focused and her whole body tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy.
"You...you are a shadow fairy?!"
Jasmine's voice was filled with disbelief, "Impossible...how come you are here?"
She subconsciously took a step back, her hand already on the weapon at her waist.
The encounter at Coral Harbor was their first official confrontation with the goblins.
At that time, if Tao Yao had not appeared, they would not be a match for each other.
The Shadow Fairy proudly shook her flower-like body, as if she was enjoying the fear and shock on Jasmine's face:
"Hehe, it seems you still remember who I am. Not bad, not bad, at least you still have some memory."
Feiying also reacted completely at this time. Her face turned ashen in an instant, and anger and confusion intertwined in her eyes.
She took a step forward, flames dancing in her palms, her tone filled with anger and confusion.
"Why are you here? You... weren't you subdued by Taoyao?"
Feiying asked through gritted teeth, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Where's Taoyao? Where did Taoyao go?"
In Feiying's memory, the Shadow Fairy was indeed conquered by Taoyao after the battle of Coral Harbor.
At that time, the Shadow Fairy mastered the dual powers of the Shadow Flower and the Poison Flower at the same time, showing overwhelming strength.
But the result was that he was no match for Taoyao at all.
Logically speaking, even if Tao Yao did not completely erase the Shadow Fairy's consciousness, she should have kept her firmly under her control.
If the Shadow Fairy is now free here, where would Taoyao be?
Is she safe?
These questions flooded into Feiying's mind like a tide, making her extremely anxious.
Facing Feiying's questioning, the Shadow Fairy sneered with disdain, and the flower head was raised high, with an even more arrogant attitude.
"Taoyao? Is she worthy of trapping me?"
The Shadow Fairy shrieked, her tone full of disdain:
"She was able to beat me last time purely by luck, but she only relied on some external forces."
"If it happens again, do you think I will be afraid of her? What a joke!"
These arrogant remarks are obviously sophistry.
Anyone who knew about the battle knew how overwhelming the power Tao Yao displayed in that battle was.
But the Shadow Fairy seemed to be trying to hide something, or simply didn't want to admit his failure.
When Feiying heard these words, the anger in her eyes almost materialized.
She took a step forward, approaching the bud and the goblin on her shoulder, her tone full of urgency and threat.
"Where is Taoyao? Where is she now? Tell me quickly! Otherwise I will burn this stinking flower of yours into ashes right now!"
The Shadow Fairy paused when she heard this, and the flower stem shrank slightly.
Of course she knew Taoyao's whereabouts, and she also knew that the "love" sister in the tower was the incarnation of the original fairy Taoyao.
However, under Taoyao's explicit prohibition, she did not dare to disclose this secret at will.
So she chose the most vicious way to respond.
"how could I know?"
The Shadow Fairy replied in a weird tone:
"Maybe she has died in some corner like a wild dog, and was eaten by jackals!"
"After all, a guy she hates so much will definitely not have a good ending."
This sentence completely ignited Feiying's anger.
Her hands instantly burst into flames and her eyes flashed dangerously.
The temperature suddenly rose and even the air began to distort.
"you wanna die!"
Feiying roared and was about to rush forward, as if she was going to burn this vicious flower and its buds to ashes in the next second.
Seeing this, Jasmine rushed forward to stop it, but it was too late.
At this critical moment, Hualei suddenly stood up, stood in front of the Shadow Fairy, and opened her arms in a protective gesture.
"Sister Feiying, don't be angry! Don't listen to Sister Ying's nonsense!"
Hualei shouted anxiously, with a pleading tone in her voice:
"Sister Ying is just like that. She speaks harshly, but she actually doesn't know how she ended up in my body!"
Hualei took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and continued to explain:
"Sister Ying is actually in a very special state right now. She must live in my body in order to survive."
“We rely on each other and form a symbiotic relationship.”
"That's why I say that I am now a fairy in a way."
"After all, because of the poison power she can use, through our connection, I can also use some of it."
Feiying's flames weakened slightly, but the anger and vigilance in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
She stared at the dark purple flower on Hualei's shoulder, as if evaluating whether it was necessary to take action immediately.
Jasmine had calmed down by now. She quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed Feiying, who was on the verge of a rage.
Unlike the impulsive Scarlet Fairy, Jasmine has always been more rational and cautious. Even when facing her former enemy, she can still think calmly.
"Feiying, calm down!"
Jasmine tightly grasped Feiying's wrist, her voice low and firm:
"Can't you see? There must be some reason we don't know about."
"And from Xiaolei's description, she seems to have become one with the flower to some extent."
Her sharp eyes glanced back and forth between the flower bud and the shadow fairy, and her tone became more serious:
"If you do it now, you might hurt Xiaolei as well."
“This isn’t the result we wanted, is it?”
The flames in Feiying's palms danced, and the anger in her eyes was still there.
But Jasmine's words did calm her down a little.
She took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions, but her voice was still full of distrust and suspicion.
"But... this doesn't make sense at all!"
Feiying gritted her teeth and said:
"Her authority has clearly been taken away by Tao Yao, how can she still act freely?"
"She is here now, she must have escaped from Taoyao!"
She stared at the flower, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes:
"She must know Taoyao's whereabouts. I'm sure of it!"
Feiying's words were filled with worry and anger.
In her opinion, Tao Yao was one of her most important friends. If something really happened to Tao Yao, and this former enemy in front of her was at large, this would be simply unacceptable.
Jasmine pondered for a moment before turning her attention to the purple-black flower on Bud's shoulder.
Her eyes were sharp as a knife and her voice was calm and oppressive.
"Are you sure you don't know Taoyao's whereabouts?"
Jasmine asked directly, with obvious suspicion in her eyes:
"Considering that you were tamed by Taoyao before, this is hard for others to believe."
Facing Jasmine's direct questioning, the Shadow Fairy held its flower high, its attitude still extremely arrogant.
"Humph! I already told you I don't know!"
The Shadow Fairy responded with a shrill voice, her tone full of disdain.
"Do I need to lie to you defeated generals?"
"If that Taoyao hadn't suddenly appeared, a little fairy like you who is younger than me would have become a part of me long ago."
Her flower stems swayed slightly, and she continued in a sarcastic tone:
"If I didn't need this little girl's help right now, I wouldn't even bother talking to you!"
"If you know what's best for you, get out of my sight!"
These arrogant remarks once again ignited Feiying's anger, and her palms once again ignited with even more intense flames.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Hua Lei hurriedly waved her hands and stood between the two sides like a peacemaker.
"Alright, alright, sisters, calm down!"
The buds' voice was filled with pleading and mediation:
"From what the sisters said, you all knew each other before, right?"
"Although there may be some unpleasant past, that is all in the past."
Her eyes moved back and forth between the three people, her tone sincere and gentle:
"We are all in this wasteland now, we can put aside past prejudices and have a common position and goal."
"My dear sister always said that in this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
"Our current goal is to survive and repair this city, so why bother arguing over the past?"
Hualei's persuasion did have a certain effect.
Feiying took a few deep breaths, and the flames gradually weakened, but her eyes were still full of vigilance.
She took a step forward, looking directly at the fairy flower, her voice low and threatening.
"Listen, I am no longer the powerless little girl I was before."
Feiying's voice was cold and firm, "Now I am no longer afraid of you, and I even have the ability to completely destroy you."
A trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Now I can temporarily put aside the past grudges, but you'd better be honest with me! If I find out that you are lying to me, or have any unfavorable intentions towards Xiaolei, I will never show mercy!"
As she spoke, two fairy flowers suddenly appeared behind Feiying...
One is hot as fire, the other is sharp as the wind.
